Because he was afraid that Cao Bin's cavalry would suddenly attack, King Xiangyang did not dare to ambush his troops in the end.
This allowed the Shajiazhuang men and Jianghu people who were chasing after them to escape a lot.
Especially Jiang Ping and others, who had been threatened in the first place, saw that something was wrong and immediately began to run back.
After returning to the camp, these people in the world no longer looked as unruly as before. They all looked downcast and listless.
Don’t they know how to retreat after hearing the money?
Even if I watched a play or listened to a book, I had heard a thing or two about it, but at the time I was over my head and didn't want to listen to military orders at all.
So much so that when I see Cao Bin's personal guards now, I feel a little embarrassed.
Cao Bin didn't want to care about them. They were not his subordinates anyway, so he didn't feel bad about them even if they died.
On the contrary, after this experience, they had more respect for Cao Bin.
For Cao Bin, these people, especially the martial arts masters, are still very useful.
They are not suitable for frontal battlefields. Probing information, conducting assassinations, and poisoning are what they are good at.
And he's not in a hurry now.
In Cao Bin's view, if the King of Xiangyang had escaped alone from the beginning, there might still be a chance.
But if he chooses to join the army, he has no chance.
As long as he can't kill Cao Bin, he can't get rid of Cao Bin's entanglement.
Therefore, Cao Bin deliberately built the camp on a relatively abrupt hill, surrounded by relatively flat and broad land.
It is said that to defend the city, you must defend the country. As long as his cavalry is still there, the King of Xiangyang will not dare to attack his camp with all his strength.
At the same time, Cao Bin continuously sent out martial arts masters to shout messages and distribute leaflets to King Xiangyang's camp, and sent cavalry to attack their troops who were out collecting supplies.
It only took two days, but King Xiangyang couldn't bear it.
Soldiers kept fleeing and surrendering there, but reinforcements were gathering here at Cao Bin's place.
Under the circumstances of the ebb and flow, the strength of the two sides soon became almost the same. Coupled with Cao Bin's cavalry personal guards, the King of Xiangyang had no hope of winning.
"Uncle, gentlemen, we have found out that King Xiangyang plans to break out tonight."
"good!"
Cao Bin slapped his thigh and laughed:
"The King of Xiangyang has finally realized his situation. If he is still reluctant to part with his family wealth, he will die trapped on the mountain without us taking action."
Everyone hurriedly said: "Uncle, please tell me about your arrangements for tonight?"
Everyone knew that capturing King Xiangyang was a great achievement, so they all looked at Cao Bin expectantly, hoping that he would send them to an important position.
Cao Bin glanced at everyone and said, "Okay, in that case, where is Yan Chasan?"
Yan Chasan had no hope at first, but he didn't expect that Cao Bin would be the first to call him.
"Yan Chasan, I ordered you to ambush in the northwest..."
Yan Chasan was pleasantly surprised when he heard this. Everyone knew that the King of Xiangyang was most likely to flee to Xixia. This was an extremely important position.
Seeing Yan Chasan's happy expression, Cao Bin waved his hand and said:
"Zhi County Yan, I will lend you a hundred repeating crossbows, and we must capture the King of Xiangyang alive."
Hearing this, Yan Chasan was even more surprised. He didn't expect Cao Bin to be so generous.
However, he will not refuse the credit that comes to him.
If he refuses, there will be no way for his subordinates to explain it to him unless he talks about it.
As Cao Bin issued orders one by one, everyone involved in the operation borrowed Liannu.
Night fell quickly. After an unknown amount of time, King Xiangyang's camp quietly opened, and a group of cavalry quickly ran to the northwest.
"I'm coming......"
Upon seeing this, the spies quickly reported to Yancha Sanhui who was ambushing on the northwest path.
Yan Chasan patted his thigh and said:
"Great, I've got the credit for capturing King Xiangyang."
As he spoke, he looked at the people around him and said:
"The credit this time is not small, Yan will definitely not let you go home empty-handed."
With that said, he gave instructions to his subordinates and martial arts masters:
"Be careful not to let King Xiangyang run away, but don't kill him either."
"He is the emperor's uncle after all..."
After everyone heard this, they quickly agreed.
At this time, the King of Xiangyang was no longer a prince in their eyes, but a man of outstanding achievements.
At this moment, a messy and gentle sound of horse hooves was heard.
Yan Chasan suddenly became energetic, shot a crossbow arrow with a striking target at will, and shouted coldly: "Do it."
He just casually fired an arrow, but felt it was too cheap and quickly put down the repeating crossbow.
As his arrows shot out, a hail of arrows flew out, covering the entire escaping team.
Those people fell down in a blink of an eye. Yan Chasan waved his hands and said:
"Everyone, let's do it together!"
So his subordinates immediately swarmed forward and rushed towards King Xiangyang's team.
It didn't take long for King Xiangyang's guards to be strangled.
At this moment, Jiang Ping suddenly picked up a crossbow arrow and exclaimed:
"No, King Xiangyang is dead, and we actually shot him to death."
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly looked at the arrow, and then all looked at Yan Chasan.
Yan Chasan was immediately confused and said: "I didn't kill this, why are you looking at me?"
Jiang Ping shook the crossbow arrow, stamped his feet and said:
"Master Yan, if your archery skills are not good, then don't shoot. See if this arrow has your logo on it."
Yan Chasan took the arrow and looked at it, and was immediately confused.
If the emperor was a thick-faced and evil-hearted emperor, Yan Chasan might gain some points in his mind if he encountered this situation.
But for the current emperor, it’s hard to say.
According to common practice, even if the King of Xiangyang committed a heinous crime, he would have to be spared by the emperor and be killed by his ministers. After all, he was the emperor's direct uncle.
Now the emperor didn't even have time to express his benevolent attitude, and King Xiangyang died here.
Do people want to suspect that King Xiangyang was killed by his subordinates secretly ordered by the emperor? This is unclear.
Yan Chasan was about to cry at this time. Why was I so unlucky that I just shot an arrow and hit the King of Xiangyang?
"Is it Cao Bin who harmed me?"
Thinking of Cao Bin's previous abnormality, Yan Chasan suddenly thought of a possibility, but he searched for a long time and found no evidence.
Moreover, it is not appropriate to publicize this kind of thing in a big way, as he will only suffer the consequences of being dumb.
Not long after, a member of "Swallow" quietly walked into Cao Bin's tent and said:
"Uncle, it's done."
Cao Bin nodded with satisfaction and said: "Go down."
Now that King Xiangyang is completely done, as long as the Queen Mother is not exposed, Master Pang will be out of danger.
I just want to say I'm sorry to Princess Xiangyang. Maybe people can say kind words even after they die, right? At least it can leave a better reputation.
Looking at it this way, I don't think I have broken the promise.
While Cao Bin was thinking wildly, Qiongying suddenly came over:
"Now Zhao Jue's outcome is a foregone conclusion. Qiongying is very grateful to my uncle for helping me take revenge."
"In the next life, I will work as a cow or a horse to repay my kindness, but Qiongying has made an appointment with the man of God in this life."
"For what happened to me... I hope you will forgive me!"
Cao Bin waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "I never force others. Just go find General Lao Shizi Mengzhong..."
But I thought in my heart, the grass on the grave of the general in your dream is one foot high, it’s weird that you can find it!
